One-fifth of computer science papers show signs of AI help — what Thailand needs to know

news computer science

A sweeping new analysis of more than 1.1 million scientific papers and preprints finds that the use of large language models (LLMs) to write or edit manuscripts rose sharply after the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, with roughly 22.5% of computer science abstracts showing statistical signs of LLM modification by September 2024. The study applied a word‑frequency model trained to detect subtle linguistic fingerprints left by AI tools, and it uncovered fast-growing use across many fields — a trend that poses practical questions for research integrity, peer review and academic practice in Thailand as research institutions and journals grapple with both the promise and the pitfalls of generative AI.

Degrees no longer a guaranteed gateway: Master's grads now sending up to 60 job applications a month with little success

news computer science

Job-seekers are sending far more applications than a year ago and still finding doors closed, with even master’s degree holders applying to 32–60 roles per month and many fresh graduates unable to land a first job. New data from an employment platform and recent industry studies point to a painful squeeze driven by AI-driven role disruption, “ghost” job postings, and an oversupplied pipeline of credentialed workers — trends that have implications for Thailand’s universities, employers and families who still place high cultural value on degrees. The emerging picture is one of growing mismatch between education and available work, eroding faith in higher education as a reliable route to economic security (Fortune: Degrees used to open doors—now even grads with master’s degrees are sending 60 job applications a month to no luck).

Hinton Says 'Maternal' AI Is Humanity's Best Hope — Implications for Thailand

news artificial intelligence

Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneer of modern neural networks often called the “godfather of AI,” told an industry conference that the only reliable way for humans to survive the arrival of superintelligent artificial intelligence is to build machines that genuinely care for people — what he described as instilling “maternal instincts” into advanced AI systems. He argued conventional strategies that try to keep AI submissive will fail once machines become far smarter than humans, and urged researchers to prioritise ways to make AI protective of human life and dignity (CNN report).

Digital Deception: How AI Chatbots Plant False Memories and What Thailand Must Do

news psychology

Revolutionary research from MIT reveals that conversational artificial intelligence can do far more than provide incorrect information—it can actively implant false memories into human minds, increase confidence in those fabricated recollections, and maintain these distortions for weeks after brief interactions. A controlled study of 200 participants found that people who interacted with generative chatbots were misled about critical details at rates reaching 36 percent—roughly three times higher than participants receiving no intervention—while reporting increased confidence in their false memories compared to those using pre-scripted systems or simple surveys.

How A.I. Is Reshaping Work: 21 Real-World Uses and What They Mean for Thailand

news artificial intelligence

A new New York Times roundup of 21 concrete ways people are using artificial intelligence at work shows how rapidly generative models and custom A.I. systems have moved from curiosity to daily tools — speeding routine tasks, augmenting specialist skills and nudging whole professions to rethink how work gets done ( New York Times interactive: “21 Ways People Are Using A.I. at Work” ). From chefs choosing wines and designers fixing photographs, to doctors dictating clinical notes and prosecutors checking paperwork, the examples make a clear point: A.I. is not a single future event but thousands of small, pragmatic changes already affecting work lives. For Thai employers, educators and policymakers, the challenge is to capture productivity gains while managing risks to equity, skills and public trust.

New research shows chatbots can plant false memories — what Thai families, police and schools need to know

news psychology

A new study from researchers at the MIT Media Lab finds that conversational artificial intelligence can do more than make factual errors: generative chatbots powered by large language models can actively implant false memories in human users, increase confidence in those false recollections and leave them intact for at least a week after a brief (10–20 minute) interaction (MIT Media Lab study). In controlled experiments simulating witness interviews, participants who interacted with a generative chatbot were misled on critical details at a rate of 36.4% — roughly three times the rate for people who had no post-event intervention — and reported higher confidence in those false memories compared with people who answered a plain survey or spoke to a pre-scripted chatbot (MIT Media Lab study). The finding raises urgent questions for Thai institutions that already rely on digital tools, from law enforcement to schools and hospitals, about how to guard people’s memories and decisions against AI-driven misinformation.

New study warns “emotionally smart” AI can make us see people as less human — and more disposable

news social sciences

A multi-experiment psychology study finds that interacting with autonomous agents that display socio-emotional skills can make people judge those machines as more humanlike — and, worryingly, judge other humans as less human and more acceptable to mistreat. The research, published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology and available via the London School of Economics repository, uses five controlled experiments to show a chain from perceiving emotional ability in AI to lower “humanness” ratings of people, and finally to real choices that disadvantage human workers (e.g., preferring a company linked with poor working conditions or withholding a small donation to support staff) (PsyPost coverage; study PDF; journal record).

Where AI Helps — Practical Uses, Hallucinations and What Thailand Should Know

news artificial intelligence

Tech writers testing the latest generative tools say the secret is not that AI will change everything tomorrow, but that it already helps with specific, everyday tasks — while still making serious mistakes when asked to be an authoritative source. In a recent Verge bonus episode, the publication’s senior reviewer and colleagues described practical uses — from smoothing children’s bedtimes to planning cross-country moves and quickly prototyping game code — but warned the tools “definitely … fall short” in important ways (The Verge). That mixed verdict mirrors peer‑reviewed findings showing large language models (LLMs) can be useful for drafting and brainstorming, yet produce “hallucinated” or fabricated references and factual errors at nontrivial rates when used as research assistants (JMIR study; arXiv survey). For Thai readers — parents, teachers, clinicians and small-business owners — the immediate question is practical: how to use generative AI to save time and spark ideas, while guarding against errors that could mislead decisions in health, education and tourism.

How a Culture of Therapy Created a Market for Therapy Bots — and Why That Matters in Thailand

news mental health

Millions of people worldwide are typing their anxieties into large language models — from ChatGPT to specialised therapy chatbots — and some of the earliest research and reporting suggests the trend is a symptom as much as a solution: a shift in how societies talk about distress has created demand for instant, judgement-free counsel, and the tech sector has raced to meet it. Recent investigative pieces and academic work warn that while AI can provide comfort and convenience, it can also reinforce harmful behaviours, reproduce stigma, and fail in safety-critical moments — raising urgent questions about regulation, clinical oversight and what it means to be cared for in a digital age Compact Magazine, The Guardian, Stanford News. For Thai readers, where access gaps, cultural stigma and a strong preference for relational support coexist, the rise of “therapy bots” offers both potential relief and new hazards; understanding the evidence and the trade-offs is critical to keeping people safe.
